Public Policy: Discussion with DBT Policy Team - Guaranteed Hours/Ending One Sided Zero Hours Contracts

Meeting Agenda

From 2027:

You may be required to give your contractor away after a 12 week assignment to your client who will have to offer a direct engagement.

Your clients will need to totally restructure how they engage workers and will face significant extra costs.

Clients are only just becoming to wake up to the fact that this policy directly affects them – their bottom line and their risk profile. Be the recruiter that understands the options and limits the impact.

This is an opportunity to speak directly to the policy team who will make recommendations to the Government following this consultation. Potentially the Zero Hours reforms will have a huge impact on hirers and the temporary market supply chain. There is still a chance to change the government’s direction of travel – and hearing real live examples of the impact of the changes strengthens our arguments.
